Corsair Neutron GTX 120GB Very Slow on Windows 7 pro x32

Hi There (Sorry for my english)

 

I just updated a very old computer (Intel D865PERL, P4 HT, 3GB RAM, no AHCI here) from a PATA IDE disk to Corsair Neutron GTX 120GB. Standard Windows 7 backup / restore process by a third sata disk. No surprise here.

 

During reboot, I saw no acceleration but decrease of performance. Opening Windows explorer takes around 10 secs the first time (quicker the others time), contextual menus are really slow.

 

I looked to the thread already to see requests for benchmarks... So here they are :)

3. ATTO Bench 32_247 (see uploaded JPEG)

who is giving very weird results with the READ parts

 

Conclusion

I don't think it's hardware... but everybody says "no OS tweak needed". There is exceptions probably.

I can give you more tests if asked. My pleasure! :biggrin:

 

Thanks for your time and effort to help me and others as well;):

Back up all your data and secure erase the drive and install a clean version of Windows. Then run a ATTO benchmark again and see if the results are better.

Ouch! Reinstall Windows 7 with all the endless config and softwares? That's quite a long run! I'm afraid my serial number key may become locked... just for a test... (?) I hope there is another option, (Windows 7 is quite expensive) Isn't it? :O

Wow, that's quite a good hint!:bigeyes: Thanks.:D:

 

I saw on the forum that Neutron GTX is not recommended with IDE. Not very encouraging. :[pouts: I'll read more about it before installing it back.

Hi (sorry for my english)

 

In short :

I Secure Erased the Corsair Neutron GTX disk (see below)

I Installed Windows 7 Pro x86 Multilanguage and I got a BSOD 7D during reboot. The installation never finished properly (see below)

My BIOS was updated already to the last version (P21).

AND

I tried with another Intel machine (D875PBZ) with Another Corsair Neutron GTX drive and different equipment (USB cables, etc) with the exact same problem!:eek: (separate tread with details will be open shortly)

 

Any suggestions? Thanks for your time and effort.:biggrin:

 

Hardware description in more details:

Motherboard : Intel D865PERL

Chipset: i865P / PE / G / i848P Revision A2

Southbridge : 82801EB

CPU : Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 3GHz HT.

Bios version : P21 (latest available)

RAM: Kingston K PC3200 1024MB (X2) and Micron PC3200 512MB (X2)

Graphic card : ATI Radeon HD 4670 1024 MB DDR3

 

Secure Erased procedure in detail

Note : This is not a recommended procedure - I'm no expert, my SSD don't work, my english is "sloppy" AND this is a dangerous operation. Crosscheck your references. Do it at your own risk.

1. I Downloaded pmagic_2012_11_30.iso and wrote Parted Magic on a CD.

2. Configure BIOS settings to allow Optical drive (DVD drive) to boot first.

3. I started the computer . Parted Magic CD is autoboot and may start.

4. From the start options : I choose "Default Settings (Run from RAM)" and press enter key (I have more than 418 MB RAM).

5. From the desktop, double-click the icon "Disk Eraser". It may start the program.

6. From "Choose a method you would like to use to erase a local disk" select "Internal : Secure Erase command writes zero to entire data area" and click the "continue" button

7. From the "Please select a device to initiate issuing the Secure Erase command" I selected the SSD to secure erase. In my case : "sda: Corsair Neutron GTX SSD (120 GB) [...]". Click on "Ok" button.

8. OUPS... "Unfortunately, the selected drive's security state is set to frozen. [...]"

8.1 I Wrote carefully the instructions, who is CASE SENSITIVE, because I feel I will need it.

8.2 On the taskbar, at the bottom, I saw an icon with a monitor showing black screen, identified by "ROXterm" and clicked on it, opening a shell.

8.3 I typed the suggested command and press the enter key. In my case, the command is "hdparm -Y /dev/sda". A message like "disk is sleeping" appeared. I typed "exit" and the enter key to close the shell.

8.4 Open the computer case. I Unplug the POWER connector from the SSD drive for more than 30 seconds. Then I replug it, then I closed the case.

9. I Redo step 5 to 7.

10. Then "A password is in used in conjunction with that command". The word "NULL" was in the text box. I just clicked on the "OK" button.

11 "Are you sure you want to continue???" All the data will be destroyed permanently, and I may "brick" the device (break and junk my precious brand new physical disk... Why me?). I choose to take the chance and clicked the "Yes" Button.

12 "ATA Secure Erase Command Issued [Date and time] [...]". In my case, it took less than one minute to process.

13 "hdparm's Secure Erase Operation against /dev/sda completed". I Clicked on the "Close" button.

14 I have rebooted the computer by the Parted Magic icon on the bottom left, I selected "Logout" then "Reboot the computer"

 

Windows 7 installation in detail

Note : Don't follow this procedure before reading it first - It's not working!

1. I changed the CMOS settings to boot from optical drive first. I looked also if the SSD drive was detected (yes it was). I added it to the boot list after the optical drive.

2. I start the genuine Windows 7 Pro x86 multilanguage DVD.

3. I select the language and keyboard.

4. I choose the Advanced Install

5. I select the SSD disk for installation. I click on the "Install" button.

Long wait. First reboot.

6. At restart, nothing to do. Windows was "Uptating registry", than "Ending installation".

Surprise!: BSOD 7E. Reboot. Message like "Cannot continue install, must reboot" and reboot again and again.

At the seventh reboot, I unpluged the computer. And cried:[pouts:.

 

Well... Any suggestion?:confused: Thanks again.

Hi (sorry for my english)

 

In short :

I backed up a working Windows 7 Pro x86 from a Sata HD to a third external disk then restored it to the SSD with Windows 7 tools.

The SSD was very slow - Windows explorer takes 10 secs to open, contextual menus takes often 8 secs, access to file list 5 secs...

I did make some diags at this stage - See below

I Secure Erased the Corsair Neutron GTX disk

I Installed Windows 7 Pro x86 Multilanguage and I got a BSOD 7D during reboot. Message like "Cannot continue install, must reboot" and reboot again and again.

My BIOS was updated already to the last version (P34).

Well... Any suggestion?:confused: Thanks again.

Remove the 2x Micron 512MB sticks and see if Windows would boot.

You don't need another thread for a similar issue in your previous thread.

 

Continue on with your other one.

:confused: Windows 7 installed without a glitche to my Sata Disk... But I will try this and comment the results. Thanks for your suggestions.:biggrin:

Remove the 2x Micron 512MB sticks and see if Windows would boot.

 

I did it (the hard way) No change...

I removed the unblessed memory.

I Secure Erased the SSD.

I Installed Windows 7 the same way.

I got the same BSOD 7E - No long file name displayed.

I tried the safe mode. No luck. "Windows can't finish the installation in safe mode. Please restart" Ok force the restart.

 

Is this device compatible with Intel 82801EB southbridge??? I begin to seriously doubt about it.:(:

 

Any suggestion? Confirmation? Infirmation? Thanks.

Have you tried a different SATA data cable and motherboard port?

 

Install Windows 7 on the SSD using the Z68 computer and then plug it back into the Intel motherboard. See if it can boot into Windows.

 

If it doesn't. It's probably a compatibility issue.

Install Windows 7 on the SSD using the Z68 computer [...]

 

I don't understand. I don't have this device. :confused: Please, give me more details.

Sorry, that belonged to a different thread.

 

Your problem is likely to be a compatibility issue.
